I'm against gay marriage.

[zixxer]

In GA we had a choice on our ballots "Are you for or against an amendment that would ban gay marriages"

I voted FOR.

Here's why:
Marriage is a RELIGIOUS term. While I'm not religious, I do read it as the union of a man and woman before god.

What I think should be allowed are Civil Unions.. that way gays can be together and have a wedding or whatnot, but not be infringing upon religious zealots who are upset over the whole matter.

However, I don't think gays would be okay with this. What do you think? Would gays be okay with civil unions but not marriage?

They will settle with nothing less than marriage rights. This should not be allowed to happen.

I'm going to drive over and kick you in the crotch if you post something like this again.

I think gays do have the right to be just as miserable as married straight people.

Screw religious zealots. They can kiss my white a$$. No really. I'd like it if they would kiss my white a$$.

 

[0roo0roo]

its a religious term for you. it doesn't mean you have the right to define it for everyeone else. the godless marry too. and if you want ot take that logic ot the rational conclusion, only christians(reasonable guess of ur religion) should "marry"

I'm just showing that there is already a thread about it.

I think that all gay people should be put on an isolated island far away from anyone.

"Marriage" is not a religious term.

My only solace is that you're probably too stupid and socially stunted to ever actually attract a mate and have kids.

Sorry but religion has NO PLACE in 2004 in this world. That CRAP has to be forgotten and we must do our best to promote social progression. Banning gay marriage is a step in the wrong direction, however it's one of such stupid little things that shouldn't have a major impact on the election anyway. A healthy economy promotes peace and security in any nation. Bush has helped greatly in that regard over the years.

 

[shuan24]

If you're not religious, then you aren't allowed to get married under your logic. Therefore, you may only have "civil unions".

 

[J0hnny]

Hey, it's no longer something that us conservative Americans have to hide our feelings for, since the election shows the majority are against it.

I'm sick and tired of being hushed up for the ideals of the traditional religious American beliefs and I'm glad that this country voted on a moral stance against gay marraiges and against stem cell research. Thumbs up for an amendment and your courage.

btw, I'm a New Yorker and against Bush's policies on the war.

Edit - This country was built on the christian principles.

If marriage is a religious institution, it's one that's practiced by nearly every religion in the world, not just Christianity. If homosexuals were to create a "gayism" religion, then would you support thier marriages? If not, do you support straight muslim couple's right to marry?

Your argument is poorly thought out.

 

[TheLonelyPhoenix]

If a gay couple wants to be together, that's not my business. It doesn't infringe on the rights of any straight person to allow it. Let them have their tax breaks and whatnot that come with marriage.

Sure, "marriage" is technically a religious term, but so what? Are you going to go to everyone's house on Christmas that has a tree up and ask them if they go to church?

Having opinion: fine.

Legislating opinion: not fine.
